    Help me I.D. the singer/s of this song.

    Greetings to all,
    who sang this song, "L.O.V.E. got a hold on me".
    A buddy of mine said that it was by Love & Kisses (Alec R Costandinos).
    But for some reason, what I'm able to recall the song had a more funk style to it (a la Jefferey Osborne - L.T.D.).
    I could be wrong, that's why I need help.
    Thanks a Million!

    It's probably "L.O.V.E. got a hold on me" by Demis Roussos (1978). It has the high-pitched disco funk chorus you seem to recall.

    P.S. Why can't I type 1978 without this fucking little annoying smileyface bastard appearing instead of the 8 ?

    I think the 8 & ) makes the 8)
    you can avoid that with choosing 'Disable smilies in text' when posting, if I'm right
    or use a space between 8 & ), like 8 )

    Flagio: thank you, I kind of figured that, after trying 3 times "8 )", getting a smiley each time instead; then having a correct 8 on the second line, when not using parentheses.
    It's good to have confirmation, and to know why.
    I've often noticed messages, even by senior members, with the smileys replacing numbers. I assumed people were using them on purpose, thinking it looked good... I guess others have been fooled by the "persistent smiley appearance syndrome"...
